Serto Ader
Ethiopian newspaper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Serto Ader (Amharic: ሠርቶ ዐደር, 'Toilers') was an Amharic-language newspaper in Ethiopia, published from Addis Ababa.[1][2][3] The newspaper was founded in June 1980, as the organ of the Central Committee of the Commission for Organizing the Party of the Working People of Ethiopia (COPWE).[4][5] The newspaper sought to popularize Marxism-Leninism amongst the Ethiopian masses.[3]
Serto Ader had a circulation of around 100,000.[2][6] The newspaper was initially published fortnightly, but was converted into a weekly.[1][6] Tesfaye Tadese served as editor of the newspaper, Gezahegn Gebre as deputy editor.[2]
When the Workers' Party of Ethiopia was founded, replacing COPWE, Serto Ader became the central organ of the new party.[2][7]
